OHIO. They are much surprised at my Dinqce Own Root Roses. A wonderful qrowth 

 is coming from those roots. Our winter was such that nearly all, even the hardy climbers, 

 froze to the ground. I only lost one Rose. Airs. E. C. O., Basil. , 



The beautiful Lady Hillingdon 



Wm. R. Smith 



Especially suited for outdoor planting and cutting 

 purposes. The soft blending of the salmon-pinks, 

 rose-pinks, and the magnificent flesh tints resemble 

 the blush of a maiden's cheek. The flowers are large, 

 full and double, and most exquisitely formed. The 

 petals are so firm they look like wax. Perfect buds. 

 ETOILE DE LYON. It blooms freely, produces 

 beautifully formed flowers of a rich golden-yellow. 

 LADY ROBERTS. A fine golden-yellow Rose. i 

 SOUV. DE PIERRE NOTTING. Color apri 

 cot-yellow, tinged with golden and mixed with 

 orange-yellow, edge of petal shaded carmine- 

 rose. 

 MARIE VAN HOUTTE. The color of the 

 flowers, which are large, full and double, is 

 pale canary-yellow, passing to rich, creamy- 

 white, shaded with pale rose. 

 LADY PLYMOUTH. A Rose similar to Souv. 

 de Pierre Notting, which means a handsome 

 bud and full, double bloom of large size. 

 Color is delicate pearly but deep ivory cream, 

 faintly flushed. 

 MRS. B. R. CANT. Deep rose, with silvery 



rose center. 

 PAPA GONTIER. Color rich cherry-red, pass- 

 ing to clear, glowing crimson. 



Green Rose — Viridiflora 



A most interesting member of the Rose family, 

 grown for its oddity. Petals are small, pointed, 

 set thickly, and of the same color as the foliage, 

 dark pea green.

HARDY EVERBLOOMING TEA ROSES— Continued 



Lady Hillingdon 



Apricot yellow shaded to orange on the outer edge of the 



petals, becoming deeper and more intense toward the center of 



the bloom. The color does not fade after the bloom is cut, but 



invariably becomes darker. Buds are produced on long, strong, 



wiry stems, well above the foliage, producing a slender and 



graceful effect. A strong, hearty, healthful grower. 



CATHERINE MERMET. One of the best varieties of Tea 



Roses. A very free bloomer, producing clear, shining pink 



flowers, the center being shaded fawn and amber. It is a good 



Rose for open ground culture.

orange and fawn, sometimes tinted rose.

shaded coppery yellow in color.

 of rosy-bronze, changing to salmon and fawn, 

 tinted with carmine. 

 PRINCESS BONNIE. Color solid crimson, deeper 



and more vivid than "Gen. Jack."

petal of which is edged with dainty rose. 

 MRS. CAMPRELL HALL. Delicate creamy buff, 

 edged or suffused rosy-carmine. The center of the 

 bloom is warm cerise coral fawn.
